value based investing...
goal oriented...
these are things that have helped anchor a lot of my decision making as of late...
without prescribed goals in early retirement... i made a quick list of things that make me happy... maybe enjoy? or value? whatever the word is... might be useful to benchmarks decisions against...
1. Learning new things
2. New adventures/ trying new things
3. Free time with no constraints/ obligations
4. Hearing people's story of triumph
5. Passing on knowledge that makes someone's life better - big or small
Just doing a quick inventory of things i find myself drawn to... this seems to encapsulate it for now...maybe that's why i keep going back ot literacy...whether traditional literacy or financial literacy... i attribute so much of my success to that...
Notice how misaligned work is to that... at least any job i've ever had...i could totally relate to that ERE journal where he was like not a fan of volunteer work at the food pantry...it's probably one of the lowest barriers of entry for volunteering...but it was so unpleasant...i got almost nothing out of it... he verbalized it well...they don't use the volunteers time well...
